In Proceedings of the ACM/IEEE International Conference for High
Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC’10), 2010.(pdf, Tech. Transfer) [Significance: A
polynomial algorithm to find best time and path(i.e. earliest
completion, shortest duration criteria) between two end-hosts in a
dynamic network topology, where bandwidth is time dependent. Flexible
reservations are analogous to reserving airline flights in which
multiple options and lower fares are offered if traveler can be flexible
with dates and time]
